   Signal is actually pretty good for the occasional "cross-iOS/Android" video chat. Can't use iOS Facetime, don't want to use $META, google/meet is OK, but isn't quite as straightforward as "@Signal =&

   I've had pretty decent luck with `todo.txt` style tracking, but also tend to run into issues with tasks or notes "going stale" so came up with this system. `today` basically opens `~/Desktop/$YYYY_MM_DD-todo.txt`,

   Honestly... the Apple/Safari "pay with Apple Pay" flow is super excellent. I'm literally excited when a web storefront supports "pay with Apple wallet" because it's secure, account-free, and defaults all t

   I forget the terminology, but there's a good "grid" breakdown of documentation types (I think this one: https://documentation.divio.com ) that I've simplified a bit for the internal documentation I'm inv

    Browse the open internet (or internal network?!) from a McDonalds ordering kiosk? No skin in the game, but this is very similar to the old Win95 "About... Help... $BROWSER" style bypasses.

    It's "point free" (can be initiated from anywhere), and can be "regular" (same motions results in the same actions), making it navigable without looking or requiring precise selection. Close cousin to "gesture

    I think it's relatively straightforward? Each mouse should be generating input events, it's "just" a matter of "Mouse1 += (100x, 200y)", "Mouse2 += (-3x, -5y)" and keeping track of a virtual cursor&#

    I wish there was some sort of "$40 for 40 hours" (eg: sketchup), and even better if there were some sort of "Humble Bundle" where you could do "$100 for 100 days of usage on any of ...these... services". A lot

    The worst thing is their insistence on whatever swipe touch poke gesture garbage that permeates the whole WatchOS and WatchApps ecosystem. Useless useless useless, and Apple is martyred and married to it. (can't enter a PIN without the

    So..... think of it this way: HTML was built for the "internet", but works just as well for plain local files (eg: file:///one.html => file:///two.html). JS was added to HTML, and much gnashing of

    Agree/disagree. I wish (and maybe this is "the answer") that you could take a basic SQL query and "invert it" into composable components. A common thing I ended up doing for some "small data" hack projects

    Turning Red was better than $20M. IMHO Luca was a bit of a stinker, but Encanto (Disney but not Pixar?) was really solid!
